About Innovative Health Systems Substance Abuse Evaluations

A substance abuse evaluation is a clinical assessment conducted by a licensed substance abuse evaluator to determine the presence, severity, and impact of alcohol or drug use. These evaluations are often required for legal, employment, or child welfare matters, but they also serve as a valuable first step toward effective treatment and recovery.

Our evaluations are conducted by experienced, licensed clinicians and may include a clinical interview, screening tools, review of substance use history, and recommendations for treatment when appropriate. We provide substance abuse evaluations for individuals seeking care voluntarily as well as those requiring court-ordered substance abuse evaluations.

How Substance Abuse Evaluations Work & Who May Need One

Substance abuse evaluations are completed through a structured clinical process designed to be thorough, professional, and confidential. Evaluations may be requested by courts, probation departments, employers, child welfare agencies, or individuals seeking treatment.

• This service may be appropriate for individuals who:
• Need a court ordered substance abuse evaluation
• Require a substance abuse evaluation for probation or parole
• Are seeking a DUI or DWI substance abuse assessment
• Need documentation for child protective services or family court
• Are required to complete an employment or workplace evaluation
• Want a comprehensive assessment to guide treatment decisions

Following the evaluation, clients may receive recommendations for treatment, education programs, or ongoing support services.

Court-Ordered Substance Abuse Evaluations

We provide court ordered substance abuse evaluations for individuals involved with criminal, family, or civil court matters. These evaluations meet court requirements and may be used for probation, parole, drug court, or other legal proceedings.

DUI / DWI Substance Abuse Assessments

Our DUI and DWI substance abuse evaluations help individuals meet DMV or court mandates following impaired driving charges. These assessments focus on substance use patterns, risk factors, and recommendations to support safer decision-making.

Child Welfare–Related Evaluations

We conduct substance abuse evaluations related to child welfare cases, including referrals from child protective services or family court. These assessments help determine appropriate next steps while prioritizing accountability and family stability.

Employment & Workplace Evaluations

Substance abuse evaluations may be required for workplace incidents, return-to-work programs, or professional compliance. We provide objective evaluations and documentation to support employment-related requirements.

Comprehensive Substance Abuse Assessments

Comprehensive assessments offer a detailed evaluation of substance use, mental health factors, and personal history. These assessments are often used to guide individualized treatment planning and long-term recovery strategies.

At Innovative Health Systems, we support clients beyond the evaluation itself. When appropriate, we provide documentation, letters of participation, certificates of completion, and recommendations that may be shared with courts, caseworkers, or referring agencies. Our goal is to help clients demonstrate progress, accountability, and commitment to positive change.
